- Today I'm building a king size Mid-Century/Japanese inspired modern platform bed. If you plan to build this for a different size mattress, simply subtract or add the difference in mattress size on the bed. This was a really fun build and a design I wanted to build for a while, so I was really excited to build this one!

Love this book! th-cam.com/users/postUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!
I actually did my first wood working project using this as the template. While it didn't come out perfect, the mistakes can only be seen from underneath and I am super happy. Still solid after one move and 3 years later. Thanks a lot!
Addicted to DIY videos. A haven't make anything, but I know how to build everything...
Legs are great, really adds to the look that the bed is floating
No doubt! Thanks Jeff!
“Better to overbuild than under build”. Words to live by.
Didn't specify what type of 4x4, ended up buying a Range Rover
Haha! My bad
lmaooo
LMAO
😂 😂 😂
Looks like Douglas Fir.
Multiple likes on this one. You should do a video tour of your house, I bet it is awesome.
Holy crap. Someone making great stuff, in a space that isn't an $80,000 wood shop, with tools that people have access to.
How have I never come across your channel before? Great build and great video!
Right
I built this bed in queen size. This video helped so much. Instead of gluing two 4x4s and cutting the rabbet, I glued a 2x4 on a 2x6. It worked great! Industrial by Design sent the legs quickly and your discount code was awesome. This was my first build ever and your video helped so much. I decided not to include the headboard and it still looks and feels great and is such a strong build. "It's better to over build than it is to under build." Thank you for this inspiration, Mike.
Great design. I just imagine myself cracking a shin on that edge, staggering sleepily back from a 2am bathroom visit. Less of a structural issue and more of a coordination one 😂😂
who else really likes those videos but never makes anything?
I made an easel a few years ago, but the number of pictures that was painted = zero.
Me too! I don't have any arms and I don't like to handle sharp tools with my feet.
the comment is funny but i've actually built stuff at my house lol
Omg me
me
this dude is such a cinnamon roll, he seems like such a nice person.
your house must be amazing, can u do a tour
Jayden Munthali Yeah, it must be pretty cool!
Jayden Munthali in Suriname there is a saying: "timmremang oso no abi bangi". It means that a carpenters house does not have furniture. referring to the fact that they are always working and barely have time for themselves let alone their houses.
Arnold Condari that's quite interesting, thanks for the info.
Arnold Condari Like Cooks never cook at home...
Can confirm, my dads a fireman and our house is always on fire
I've been reading up about making a platform bed and it seems to be recommended that you don't have a solid surface underneath the mattress (such as plywood) because you want airflow beneath to help it breathe...
I like the fact that you show everyone has hind sight. Loved the video
Can we have a house tour? I bet your house is amazing
I'm so in love with this bed
But you know you can make love in the bed
Every time I see beds like this I just imagine how bad it will hurt when I sleepily/drunkenly bang my ankle against the corner that sticks out just a little further than I expect.
it hurts like a mother effer! I just hit it twice or so this week ... I cry everytime :D
I was thinking the same, I would want the corners rounded.
Yeah what an awful design
@@cashhitchhiker7694 for youuuuuuuu
This bed is beautiful
I've had this idea in my head for the longest to build my 15 year olds on the bed and you gave me a good idea of what to do thanks for the tutorial and keep them coming thank you thank you thank you
I recently became interested in DIY furniture projects then realized that I have to spend tons of money just for the tools and space to keep them in. So much for looking into building my own space saving platform bed lol.
Just because this particular bed used quite a few tools doesn't mean you can't make something simpler.
Ramza you can rent the tools from stored that sell wood
I have been looking for a good platform bed vid. Thank you for posting. I need to make one but I dont have the tools your have
You can problably rent them. If you are in the US, Canada or Europe you will find lots of stores that would offer that tool rental services. You will problably find them in many other countries as well.
Me: dreaming about using a table saw properly.
My pizza cutter: You can’t even use me properly.
I’m a carpenter and I can’t use a pizza cutter properly, don’t feel bad
With the table saw…safety,,,safety,,,safety. If you need help on bigger pieces, wait for help.
@@patrickdunn8918 Agreed and don't do like this guy only using your fingers to push the wood. Buy a push stick or a Micro Jig for bigger pieces but not your fingers. But kudos for having the roller stand.
I love how your videos shows your mistakes and how you over came them
That's cool to hear! Thanks Simon
I’m so in love with this man isn’t honest annoying
Clicks for “how-to”
Sees “how hard” 😳🛠
in time this one is really not hard.
IF I HAD THIS SKILL i would never buy furniture or houses again
javidan r I can guarantee the bed he made was cheaper than any of the same type you could buy especially because they're so popular now. Also, he got to customise his. So there's that, smh
smh...
smfdh
Yes but how much is your time worth? buy a bed for 200$ or build one for 100$. if you make 20$ an hour, i hope you can build it in under 5 hours....
+Pavel Lagun seriously buy a bed for 200$ even though I'm not a fan of the headboard he used 4x4s in this bed frame you'll nvr come close to the build quality u see here for 200$
What the... I had no idea this much work went into making a good bed. Fuckin hell... The most important question is though, how well does the bed hold up when shaggin.
You could shag until the sun falls from the sky in the bed you just saw built in the video and never run into a problem unless you don't know how to shag properly :-)
Those legs could dent a hardwood floor if it starts skipping across the room lol.
or, you can shag in the kitchen..
1 word, Creak
So glad someone else asked, that was my first thought when I saw those legs...
As an industrial design student, I'm gonna subscribe!
That's awesome! Thanks a lot
It's about the tools, with the right tools you can build anything.
Alright, last one then I'll sleep
Haha!
" Everything I've built is super heavy duty and never failed." I wouldn't doubt that considering the bed is made from 4x4s and 2x4 slats, damn talk about overkill Lol. Great build tho
i like your platform bed design 🥰🐶🐶💗
Love the simplicity of the design.
I love it, but I definitely don't think this is a DIY i could take on myself. lol
It's one of my more involved project videos for sure
Why isn't DIY? No complex joints, can be done without basic tools (except the planner) and the finish is easy.
how much ? and how to buy. your good product ???
This was a lot more clear and easy than other bed tutorials and had good tips. I’m. 36 year old woman - I could do this.
Nice Bed. However, why you put agglomerated plates at the end and don't let it like a normal slatted bed base ?? Your mattress need to breath to avoid mold, no?? (Sorry for my english, i'm french and i didn't know a lot of technical words )
Damn, didn't even watch the video yet but it looks awesome man! Keep up the good work!
Haha! Thanks a lot
I've had this idea in my head for the longest to build my 15 year olds on the bed and you gave me a good idea of what to do thanks for the tutorial and keep them coming thank you thank you thank you
Hey, Mike. I had not found this video from "yesteryear", until today. I like this build. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Omgosh I just stumbled onto this video and BLESS ME. this channel is EVERYTHING omg cant wait to see more. hella slayage
Haha!! Thanks!
Modern Builds volta à tela tela do TH-cam Voltar à tela Sair do TH-cam
I'd love to see how they actually got that massive thing into the clients bedroom.
Sylliboi Swag they just took it apart 😅
Is no one gonna talk about the cat at 4:03 omg I lost it 😂😂
Gabi Winchester the cat was like i dont like change..
Yh. I thought the guy was talking about the cat when he referred to having a problem with the creation. I laughed out loud
I thought I was trippin
@Gabi Winchester I was so weak when the camera zoomed in on the cat. The blank stare that it had almost made me holler!
I was laughing my ass off
It is a great job where you can learn new things at any moment. I'm happy to be a part of it. congratulations.👍👍
That's a beautiful bed.
Your cat was funny, that's the face my cat makes when something smells bad like a sharpie
Haha!!
RoKetBunyy
Am I the only one who thinks this would look awesome with a rgb LED strip underneath?
That would be cool!
It'd look pretty sweet :o
DougieGamesPC I was thinking of that too. My 10 year wants a new bed frame this winter and having led lights underneath would be awesome.
DougieGamesPC haha nice
I don’t event know what that is 😂
I bet you get plenty of action on this project ^^
Throwback to the first MB video I ever watched!
One of the most efficient DIY video edits I have ever seen. Good stuff, 30 minutes of info in 8 minutes!
This looks so cool but all I can think about is all the bruised shins you'd get.
Haha, yeah one or two at least haha!
It looks really great, but I would never want one of those kinds of beds in my house. It only takes a couple of times of getting up in the middle of the night and coming back to the bed in the dark and slamming your shins on the corner of the bed to know this. It's a strong looking bed though. You could probably park a car on it.
please use a pusher for the table saw! I really don't want your next video to be a few fingers short!
Great bed 😍
I’m the least handy person in the world but watching this is so satisfying lol everything you make is so cool 😍
Nice video bro!!!
*cool project*!! I love DIY like this!
Thanks a lot man!
NewMan DIY
Modern Builds what would this cost
OMG i made a channel just so i could comment and say omg. I AM BUILDING THIS NOW
Haha! That's awesome man, good luck!
Did you build it?
hi did you build it?
@@CrystalRivera9598 my kindred spirit XD
thats one nice as hell king size floating bed...
After watching 2 videos I’m subscribing. These videos are a gracefully made and I especially love the energy you give off. You deserve everything you have and more
Thank you for this surprisingly detailed video! I really enjoyed watching it and looking forward to build this on my own. I have just one question. I’m kind of afraid, that it’s going to get a little squeaky on the sides over the time. Is there any possibility to prevent this anyhow? Thanks in advance!
big thumbs up buddy
Thanks!
not a huge fan of the head board, but love the idea with the 4 by 4's.
To each his own. Thanks a lot man!!
love the bench that you made, i am going to build that this weekend.
Right on! Let me know how it goes
Modern Builds finished the bench but I don't know have to add pictures. Glad I bought a bigger sander. Lol. Wow. Lots of sanding. Wished I had a electric hand planer. Lol
JB Carter You could continue with 4x4s and make a frame headboard for a consistent design. Then the style of the inner area would be up to you
That’s a beautiful bed
you are not only an artist but also a genius. well done; this is amazing!
I don't know about that! But thanks a lot
Alright, imma do this if only i have these things:
• Money
• Equipments
• Materials
• Skills
• Time
• Patience
So basically dont even try and be a lazy couch potato? Great attitude.
@@pistabacsi462 The cost of entry is steep you know? The plainer, the saws, the other equipment. He's got hundreds, if not thousands of dollars invested in his tools!
@@hidigidy pure excuses. This project can be done basically with three tools: a jigsaw, a circular saw and a drill. The planer makes the boards nice and flat but isn't completely necessary, a similar finish can be done with a hand planner or a sander which are cheap tools. I have a corded jigsaw that cost me about $30 new, a Ryobi corded circular saw that cost about $50 new and a Makita drill that I spent about $80. Add the drill bits, jigsaw blades and a better disc for the saw and the cost is near $200, not thousands. The pocket hole jig? Well, if you buy the kreg ones those are expensive, I have a none adjustable one that costs $20 and an adjustable one from Milescraft that cost me $15, both do exactly the same job as the Kreg one.
A big part of woodworking is to adapt the project to the tools you have and the materials you will use. I have replicated projects I have seen made by TH-camrs with full workshops filled with industrial planers, jointers, big saws and thousands in Festool brand equipment. Mines may not have the craftsmanship perfection of them but still I have made them. If you focus too much on what is used to make stuff instead of how it's done then you will never make anything.
These people in the replies apparently don't understand the concept of a joke...
how do you get these projects this size already assembled out of your workshop to your customers? Disassemble them? How do customers reassemble them with no skill? Thanks
Just from experience, wood designers and builders go and install for the customer.
do you make and sell these?
also would you be interested in trying the Drommen king size bed from CB2 ...? I would love to see a diy of that bed. it's my dream bed lol
btw I just subbed! you made me wanna try woodworking. I want that bed, those mid century side tables you made (as nightstands) and the dining table you made lol
can you make a video series for beginners?
Steve Ramsey and DIY Creator do some good videos for beginners
How utterly awesome! Who would down vote? That's just silly.
Haha! Thanks Tracy
I love the bed frame to bits but the styling of the bed..... Lets just say there's room for improvement lmao.
I really love this style of bed but I don’t think I could make it myself with no building experience
A note for anyone that wants to build this for a memory foam mattress, you can't have a solid surface under a memory foam (or latex) mattress. It needs to be slotted so that it can breathe. Your memory foam manufacturer will include this information when you buy it.
If you have the right tools, everything is easy to make.
Yeah, somewhat
if you know how to work with wood you just need a saw, drill, square and measuring tape. if you don't have those then you probably need to go to Ikea and buy your furniture...
Lol you are forgetting planes to square up the work. And I don't have a drill per-se. Unless you count a bit and brace. I don't count it as a drill because a drill is a totally different animal to use in my mind.
It is mostly just trouble shooting and working out how to cut and assemble the pieces.
That bed looks awesome... Great Job
Thanks a lot!!
U did that.💯💕👍🏾💪🏾 That what i been wanting for my bed and can't find.
Ah love this bed.. but I might love the cat even more!
Haha!
That looks perfect but how do you deliver something that big? Did you take it apart?
You build it in the room its going to stay in
Mine works too. I used woodprix plans and made it without any problems.
This was a beautiful finish can't wait to show my husband this project
Once saw a bed where they put the legs more to the inside of the bed, so it looked like the bed was 'flooting'. Guess it would look really cool on this bed to.
You can find nice Instructions on woodprix if you like to build it
SCAM ALERT
Fantastic plans!!!!
Very good plans. Thanks 💝
the floor needs a bottomless pit design to make this truly awesome
urjnlegend what do you mean by that?
Josh D like look up bottomles spit designs in restrimooms on google, its looks cool
urjnlegend just googled it, that toilet on top of the 15 story hole looks crazy
The people who dislike this must prefer a concrete bed
M.Night207 i have a concrete bed.. 😐
No i´m just prefer precise work ;)
M.Night207 ib feel that calling this DIY is not appropriate. .He's a carpenter
Stoney Lonsome i wannabe the very best that no one ever was...
Thanks for encouraging to get my physics master.
the Bed looks bomb proof
Yeah.... i think it is haha
It's nice how most DIY videos show you how to make things by yourself...
...the only requirement is having an entire workshop with every single existent tool at home.
Wood working isn't a cheap hobby initially or once you get into it. But most hobbies aren't free of set up costs.
Dear god man, use a push stick! I don't know if it was the camera angle but some of those cuts looked sketchy!
It was the camera angle. I was way out of the way! Thanks though man
How much did it all cost?
About $150-$200
thank you!
Modern Builds in store this would probably be around 2000 - 3000
Modern Builds omg!!! I know what I'm doing for my new town house
so lucky that youre able to purchase a town house. your life must be amazing.
Beautiful bed
You should continue. You are inspiring other people. I suggest you to do a table and chairs.
Those legs are gonna hurt like a bitch when one gets your toe
they'll also fuck up your floor
thats what i was thinking
ebon123 not if you have carpeting or a rug
Most people don't slide their beds across the floor
I just imagined someone sliding through the house... On a bed.
This just pissed me off I thought I'd be able to do this at home myself😭 can someone come over with a saw and assist please?☹️
woodprix instructions is good solution for every woodworker.
Very useful to me.
SPAM ALERT SCAM
@@barryburac8344 Awesome plans to me too Barry!
@@randypontony1683 Awesome to me. Thanks Randy for recommendation
Beautiful design
its so simple and so perfectly.I like it 👍
Dude is amazing but when he said “heighth” I got lightheaded.
bro u going to hell lmao
what was the total cost?
RicohFacilty Swordsecurity exactly what I want to know
Chassidey Edwards we just bought the material and it costs 500$. It’s not expansive compared to a quality wise king size bed
@@AmeeSigner You could make it so much cheaper. You need not go to Home Depot, just repurpose some demolition lumber. 2x2 instead of 2x4, this thing is holding less than 500 lb with 2 people sleeping on it, you need not make it strong enough to hold a car.
I spent about $200 making this.
Rip shins
Haha!
Exactly what I was thinking. Should have rounded them off a little at least.
That bed is beautiful!
Thanks!!
Love this bed
Ill just stick with throwing a mattress on a pallet
Haha! To each his own
@@ModernBuilds Everybody thinks they need something of regal splendor... you are only sleeping on it, it is covered up, mostly. Simple, minimalistic, basic... show me something like that.
